That's all we could do in those days; some of my phonetic guesses are pretty comical.

I'll have a listen to the Electric Prunesy track but I doubt if I'll know it.

BTW I see we've had another 4 members this week, taking us to 790. Don't be too shy to say hello and, more importantly, whether you've got any tapes to share!

I see the oldest member is one Martinw, member since 22/1/99 but the first message was apparently from Les Miller on 1/2/99.
Did you start the group Martin?
The moderator is 'smchughuk', aka Stuart, who didn't join until December 1999; I don't recognise that yahoo ID, but is it the same Stuart who we now all know as Mojo Babe?

I joined in 2001, mentioned the Colorblind James Experience in my very first posting, and continue to plug them whenever I can. ONE DAY THE WORLD WILL LISTEN !!!!!!!!! Or probably not.

I have so far contributed about a dozen tapes and there are more to come. I just need to decide whether to persist with trying to get Audacity to work on Linux, or give up and go back to Micr*S*FT.

Cheers

Quality control lapse there. I normally copy my track listings from my spreadsheet, which was created many years ago, from my handwritten database of recorded songs. Sometimes the spellings were inaccurate, I just wrote down what I thought JP had said. 
 
When I wikify these tapes now, I put them through discogs to get full record label details and often realise at that point that I got the spelling wrong.
 
Obviously I forgot to double check the spellings of the session tracks on this occasion!
 
BUT - I notice Discogs spells the track Indoitasei so I am convinced that 'Ndoita Sei?' comes from the session notes, as that spelling has been picked up both by Ken and by the BBC web team, and the question mark must have originated from the session engineers at the time, before True Jit was released and the true spelling became apparent.
 
Incidentally on my spreadsheet and handwritten notes I had laboured for 24 years under the delusion that track 16 on my mixtape  http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Mostly_Peel_Spring_1986  was a ditty named “Seven Out Of Ten”  by the combo known as “The Rochdale Judge” ……….
 
I don’t suppose you have listened to my February 1986 compilation http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Peel_February_1986 as the 4th track on that I have not been able to identify – it sounds very Electric Prunesy and I feel it is one that I should know as it seems to be one  of those 60s pebbly garage standards?

Thanks for these Stuart.

Small point: The Bhundu Boys track is Rugare not Regarre.

Very much smaller point: Another of the BB tracks is listed by Ken as 'Ndoita Sei?'. Does the question mark indicate uncertainty of the title, or is the title a question? On the excellent CD True Jit it's listed as one word without a '?'.

The first is a relatively short one, only seven tracks, but three of them session tracks, two from Brilliant Corners and one from Soup Dragons, and contains JP's end of show wrapup.

More survives of my second show of tonight. This contains the complete second sessions of both the Bhundu Boys and the Shop Assistants, a snippet of Steve Fisk and a wonderful old tune by Zebra Stripes. Not much of the great man himself I'm afraid
